My prediction:
1. Expansion of cloud services will introduce new exploits and expose many attack vectors for malicious users.
2. Ransomware continues to grow.
3. Government organized cyber attacks.
4. Keeping more and more sensitive data (personal and business) on mobile devices and smartphones will lead to growth of cyber attacks targeting these devices.

I also agree that there will be more attacks related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies with rapid adoption of these technologies.

IoT and wearable devices, but this is not new. Botnets from those kind of device will be used for all kind of attacks.

Decryption – I guesst that lot of companies will start to use decryption and users will be used on “man in the middle” so much that this will be abused by cyber criminals that will find a way to get in the middle end decrypt traffic – and get sensitive information in the end. This would be very problematic because of all kind of cloud services that we use everyday.

Attack on Bitcoin and other crypto currencies.

Due to complex geopolitical situation and tensions, government sponsored attacks and mutual blaming will grow. We can expect more fake news, messing with elections and similar, data leaks and consequences related to it.

With GDPR, Ransomware will rise. And the next target, after personal computers and small business servers will be Cloud providers. So prediction is that will be more and more ransomware attacks on cloud services providers.

Hijacking of home IoT devices, not to be used as BOT’s but as marketing intelligence tools (for selling consumer behaviour data on “black market”) or classical SIGINT (used by own government for “anti-terrorist” activities or by foreign one as a tool for Info-warfare)

(Clairvoyant Games) Agree…2018 could be registered as the first where a major incident occurred in basic service systems with fatal victims (power, water, transportation or health services) originated in management failures, rather than terrorism.. Also, the security of block-chain technologies could face severe incidents that require increasing their strength and making laws. And… a third: activation of a weapons system for failures. I hope I’m wrong.
